The beam propagation properties within the semiconductor amplifier are explored by a (1+2)-dimensional traveling wave model and its coupled mode approximation. Assuming a weak field regime, we analyze the impact of different parameters and modulation geometry on the narrowing of the principal far field component.application/pdfeng510Semiconductor amplifiertraveling wave modelcoupled mode approachperiodic structureanisotropyfar fieldspatial filteringNarrowing of the far field in spatially modulated edge-emitting broad area semiconductor amplifiersReport
